Description
At this age, toddlers become more independent and we encourage their development with a carefully designed program of activities largely through play. Learning Jungle offers a balanced program that allows children to explore, be engaged and develop fine motor, gross motor and cognitive skills. Educators observe and track developmental progress in all five domains to plan activities for each individual toddler. The toddler environment is set up in a spacious area to accommodate for lots of activity and movement. Educators delight in the opportunity to be silly, sing, dance, read, play, and laugh with toddlers. Outdoor play and exploration are also an important part of a toddler’s day to exercise large muscles and burn off energy.

Parent Reviews
Our two year old has been going here since he was 6 months and we love Learning Jungle! Dropping off your baby to full time care is scary, but you will quickly be reassured by the caregivers / teachers here. They genuinely love and care about the kids. It’s also clean, well organized, peaceful, and safe!
So glad to hear this! Thank you for the kind feedback and for being a wonderful part of our community.
My son has been attending Learning Jungle full time since he was an infant and we have had an EXCEPTIONAL experience. All the teachers are so loving and attentive. It’s a warm and positive environment and I can tell the teachers are happy working there. My son never cries and he actually gets excited when we enter the parking lot. They are also great at communicating any updates or events from the day. Highly recommend!
We're so happy to hear this! Thank you for your support and for being part of our Learning Jungle community.
Our 5 month old daughter has been attending for about a month and we’re very happy so far. I love that she gets lots of attention and time to play on the floor, not put in a container. The teachers are always happy to see her and she seems happy. Her teachers are young but caring and very attentive. She also seems to be developing so fast maybe from being around older babies. It seems clean and organized and they had me come and meet with the director the week before she started even though I had toured it before which was a nice opportunity for questions and to meet some of her teachers. Their parking lot is also very convenient and I appreciate their hours.
We appreciate you so much! Thank you for the kind review and for choosing us for your child's care.
Dymphna, Tamyra, Brenda, and Allison are incredible people! Our children love them!!
Thank you for the kind words about our team! We're grateful to have your family as part of our Learning Jungle community.
We love Learning Jungle! The teachers are absolutely wonderful. Our kids have learned so much and absolutely flourished.
Thank you for trusting us with your child! Reviews like this mean the world to our team.
Our children have been attending Learning Jungle for the last 4 years. They have had really wonderful teachers who they have learned so much from and who have made lasting impacts. There have been a lot of leadership changes in the past year which has added disruption to the facility.
Thank you for sharing your experience and for your honest feedback. We're always looking for ways to improve. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at parenthelp@learningjungle.com so we can hear more.
Our daughter has been at Learning Jungle La Mesa for a year now and we absolutely love it. The teachers are caring and take the time to teach the children preplanned lessons. She has learned so much in the past year and has become independent. We definitely recommend learning jungle!
We're delighted to hear this! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such kind words.
